Despite the many advantages of this therapy, it has some limitations, including the lack of bactericidal activity. Hence, NPWT is combined with antibacterial products. One of them is the gentamicin-collagen sponge, presented in the three cases described below. The combination of the gentamicin-collagen sponge with NPWT may be beneficial in difficult wounds with a high risk of infection, and also in patients with impaired wound healing.</p>2023-05-15T00:00:00+02:00Copyright (c) 2023 Bartosz Jan Grzechulski, Tomasz Banasiewicz
